For those seeking a highly stable support system, the Series 5 offers some of the most demanding setups with a large top casting and excellent stability. Within the Series 5, the GT5533L is designated as "Long" because it can extend from a minimum height of 3.9 inches to a maximum height of 57.1 inches, while maintaining an impressive weight of 88 lb. Gitzo's patented Carbon eXact has been integrated to provide maximum rigidity at minimal weight. Weighing only 5.8 lb, the tripod can be easily transported in the studio or in the field. With a folded length of just 26.8 inches, you can conveniently store or transport the tripod.
